The recommended monitor in the IBM product line is the 8515.  14" screen,
0.28 mm dot pitch.  I've used two of them.  One has satisfactory focus
(though slightly soft toward the corners) but rather poor convergance.  The
other has satisfactory convergance, but the focus is quite poor in the
corners, most noticeably in the red gun and in the lower left corner, where
an 'S' in virtually indistinguishable from an '8'.  With monitors being
used for ever-increasing resolutions, quality control will become more and
more important, and I think IBM needs to do a better job with their 8515s.
